Glad to see the council’s new order

November 15, 2018

It's been a brutal year, with our tweeter-in-chief setting the tone all year long, every day, 24/7, like a chorus of 1,000 off-key coqui.

Against all odds, the election results were mostly heartening. It seems a semblance of sanity has been restored, with new inroads plowed both nationally and locally.

Good news on the home front (pun intended). Greed has been put at bay, with the County Charter amended, effective Jan. 2, 2019, to increase the penalty for the operation of a transient accommodation without a permit from the current amount of $1,000 to a civil fine of up to $20,000, plus $10,000 per day for each day the unlawful operation persists.
